Notes Receivable from Financial Advisors
From time to time, the Company’s subsidiaries may make loans to their financial advisors. The notes receivable balance is comprised of unsecured non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing loans (interest of up to 10.0%) to the financial advisors. These notes have various schedules for repayment or forgiveness and mature at various dates through 2025. The notes are amortized over the forgiveness period which generally ranges from 3 to 5 years. Receivables are continually evaluated for collectability and possible write-offs and an allowance for doubtful accounts is provided where a loss is considered probable. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the allowance amounted to $1,283 and $1,208, respectively.
Due to the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, the Company reclassified notes receivable balances on forgivable loans of $40,566 to contract acquisition costs, net in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 2 for further information.
